Affluent Women and The Men Who Love Them
I read an article a few days ago that talked about the Uma Thurman/Luke Wilson flop My Super Ex-Girlfriend. For the crowds of people who wisely decided to not watch this flick, the movie was about some guy who finds out that his girlfriend is a local superhero, a la Wonder Woman, Supergirl etc. The guy finds out about her powers, promptly dumps her, and then proceeds to get stalked by Thurman. Hilarity ensues. The big deal about that flick was power issues; when a Regular Joe dates affluent women , does that make him less of a man? Should the wealthy and powerful stick to dating the wealthy and powerful?
Gender roles may have gone through some crazy changes in the past few decades (at least here in North America), but money and dating is one issue that's about as touchy as it ever was. No one likes feeling upstaged by their partner, and let's face it - guys can be just as touchy and sensitive as the ladies, especially when they believe that the roles have been reversed and the lady is paying their way. That's usually a case of perception - just because one partner is wealthy or affluent doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to shower the other partner with gifts. But that's still a big fear for a lot of guys. I can't think of too many gents who relish the thought of becoming some pet that gets trotted out on the weekends.
On the other hand, if you're on the wealthy end of the spectrum, you might find yourself being rather suspicious of the suitors who come knocking on your door. There's a nagging thought that the guys who are approaching wealthy women are simply doing it for the money, that they don't give a damn about the women they're wooing. Of course, many women cut out that possibility by sticking to dating people who fall within the same tax bracket - there is an ever-increasing number of dating service dedicated to single rich men and women and there's certainly nothing wrong with that situation. Dating is all about feeling comfortable and enjoying yourself, and narrowing the search down to people with similar incomes makes for better possibilities.
Since I'm a hopeless romantic, I'd like to think that income differences don't have to be a major issue. Love knows no bounds, and if two people finally find their soul mates then allowances can be made (pun intended) for cash clashes. It can be tough on a person's pride when they feel dependent on their object of affection ( and that goes for both sexes), but when it comes to love it's sometimes a good idea to put your ego aside and concentrate on building a trusting relationship. Just don't start duking it out to see who pays for the tip at restaurants!

Dear,
I read your article,beginning...you must know my status,I'm almsman, Let us put this side, so we can start to talk about the money and the love.
Can you Imagine the life without Money? It's very very very Hard, you can't do any thing without money, a simple thing is very far without money, did you understand me?.
Now let me talk about the crime. The Crime will occur when man find his love, his woman, his dream....
He wants to make her the best... he like to give her all things...he wants to fly to get the stars for
her eyes.
Do you know the problem?.
My age is 30 years old, I'm not Married, perhaps you say "it's early." No it's not early, in my country, they marry at 20 years old, because I'm almsman, and I can't make my woman is happy, so I will not marry. Here we believe in the marriage so we can't do any relationships out the marriage(we are muslims), you must be sure I'm never touch any woman. Now I'm looking for a rich and beautiful woman...why?
Do I seek money?
Never...Never...Again, The life without MONEY is too HARD, I need her a beautiful until prevent me to see any another woman, I need her only and she only. Because she doesn't need money from me(I'm poor), we can get much of children,she only needs my love, allegiance, and my honor, together beautiful words with kissing will make us very happy.
Now...Do you understand me?
No Life or love without money, the money every thing,because the poverty, the love will leave the life and it will be hard and will hurt us and creats the hate, then we will hate every thing in our life.
With my Respect.
Ebraheem.
